The #include method of file inclusion is often used to include standard headers such as stdio.h or stdlib.h. This is because these headers are rarely (if ever) modified, and they should always be read from your compiler's standard include file directory. The #include "file" method of file inclusion...

The #include method of file inclusion is often used to include standard headers such as stdio.h or stdlib.h. This is because these headers are rarely (if ever) modified, and they should always be read from your compiler's standard include file directory. The #include "file" method of file inclusion is often used to include nonstandard header files that you have created for use in your program. This is because these headers are often modified in the current directory, and you will want the preprocessor to use your newly modified version of the header rather than the older, unmodified version. read less

Along the path that's specified by each /I compiler option. In C++, include a file in two ways: The first one is #include which tells the preprocessor to look for the file in the predefined default location. This location is often an INCLUDE environment variable that denotes the path to include files...

I think it is incomplete question. It could be #include with angle bracket and include with double quote. #include with angle bracket will look the file in include directory which is defined in the compiler settngs. #include with double quote will look in all the directory.
